Il fastidioso “Sleep of Death” non è nuovo nell’ambiente Android e purtroppo sembra aver afflitto anche il nuovo Xperia V, in vendita in alcuni paesi dai primi di Dicembre.
Come anticipato, questo bug impedisce all’utente di utilizzare il dispositivo una volta in stand-by il quale per farlo partire nuovamente dovrà rimuovere la batteria.
Dal suo debutto sul mercato molti utenti hanno segnalato sul forum di Sony questo problema e proprio alcuni giorni fa il produttore ha riconosciuto il bug ed ha comunicato che verrà rilasciato un apposito bug-fix non appena verrà sistemato il problema.
In attesa di poter definitivamente risolvere il problema alcuni utenti segnalano che l’ultimo update firmware (9.0.1.D.0.10) o l’avvio dello smartphone in modalità provvisoria potrebbe tamponare il presentarsi del bug.
Ecco alcuni commenti di utenti che hanno riscontrato il fastidioso bug:
“I got my Xperia V a couple of weeks ago and I am really pleased with it. I only have one problem which I do not know how to fix. Sometimes when the phone is in standby, I cannot turn it on again by pressing the power button. There is absolutely no response when I do so. I can see the phone is still on because when I have a message, the LED is blinking. The only thing that works is taking out the battery and power it back up. I think it has happened to me 4 times over the past 2 weeks.”
“I upgraded my Xperia Arc to Xperia V a week ago and the first days it worked perfectly. The last two days I noticed that the alarm did not ring and then when I investigated the phone I could not start it with the on/off button on the right side. I could see it was on since the light blinked blue for new message but I could not start/open the phone. I had to remove the battery and put it back and then the phone kicked on.”

“I need to report yet another freeze-in-standby-problem. It usually happens during night-time while my phone’s out of use for many hours. Only way to get going again is to re-insert the battery. This is a serious joy-killer on an else absolutely wonderful phone . . . ”
“I have woken up late, and hence came to work late 3 times, due to this “sleep of death” problem on my Xperia V. Can’t imagine after so many years using the phone as alarm clock, now I have to rely on the mechanic alarm clock again.”
Attendiamo aggiornamenti e comunicazioni ufficiali da parte di Sony.
